WASHING-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 290,064, dated December 11, 1883,

Application filed August 6, 1883. (N 0 model.)

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADOLPHUS E. KIEL, of Montrose, in the county of Lee and State of Iowa, have invented a new and Improved Wash-Board, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved wash-board, on which the- 13, O, and D, are held, which are mounted on galvanized rods or gudgeons passed into the side bars of the wash -board frame. The

grooved rollers are of greater diameter than the plain rollers, so that they all will have the same strength. The rollers are not to be in contact, but are to be as close to each other as possible without touching. I prefer to provide alternately a smooth roller, B, an annularly-grooved roller, 0, and a corrugated roller, D. The corrugated or grooved rollers loosen the dirt in the clothes, and the smooth rollers rub it off. At the bottom of the board a fender-strip, F, is provided, to prevent the clothes from being drawn between the rollers, and also keeps the frame of the. board from spreading.

By means of my improved board, the clothes can be washed thoroughly in, a very short time with comparatively little exertion, and the clothes are not injured. 40

I am aware that a wash-board has been provided entirely with smooth or entirely with .spirallyribbed rollsyalso, that smooth and ADOLPHUS E. KIEL.
